Skyline High School in Sammamish is currently in lockdown due to a threat written on a bathroom wall this morning. Police say officers and SWAT are at the scene, searching the school room-by-room with bomb-sniffing dogs.

KIRO 7 is reporting that Skyline staff planned to move students to the stadium area so law enforcement can conduct a thorough search of the building.

A 12:33 p.m. update from the King County Sheriff’s Office is that deputies are continuing to search the school. No one has been arrested in this incident as of yet. Once the search is complete, the lockdown can be lifted.

As of 1:44 p.m., police confirmed that nothing of concern was found. The lockdown has now been lifted.

This morning, Issaquah High School, Middle School, and Clark Elementary school were all on lock down for about an hour after reports of a gun on campus. A suspect in that previous incident was taken into custody.
